I actually predicted that this episode will be an episode solely focused on Hazuki and her backstory. I'll try to break down the episode and give my opinion on it since. To be honest, there are a lot of things that happened in this episode. Some are funny once and some are sad once,
The Student council election
The election season on this anime is pretty tame compared to other anime out there. Usually, in real life there are debates and campaign activities every time, I want to see a debate between Sumire and Hazuki however the episode wasn’t focused on the election. It is solely focused on the fact that Hazuki was the center of this episode. This student election episode is made just to make the viewers see the side of Hazuki and her point of view on the whole thing happening in this anime.
Kanon doesn’t want to be student council president.
Compared to previous love live where most of the centers became the student council president. However, in this episode, Kanon rejected the offer of becoming the school idol president. Maybe because she sees the whole thing as a huge responsibility on her shoulders? She deny the offer to the point that sumeri chan became annoyed with her. In my opinion, you should force somebody to do something they don’t want to do in the first place because it will lead to some unnecessary outcomes. Don’t force kanon to do something she doesn’t want to do.
Chisato is officially a member of the group
It is nice to see that Chisato became an official member of their idol group since in the last episode we see that she perform together with kanon and the others on stage. Chisato wears her general course uniform and surprises kanon and Keke at this meeting. She wanted to be with kanon for the rest of her high school life that’s why she joined their idol group. I applaud the thing that Chisato has done on this episode since I can’t do what she was doing on this episode. Are you willing to change course just to be with your best friend? This is the question I can’t answer but Chisato was able to do it because she loved kanon that much. Let's say, that you were studying engineering and your best friend was a teacher. Would you change your course to be a teacher just because of your best friend? This is an easy answer if you asked Chisato. She is willing to be a teacher just because she wants to be with her best friend for the rest of their school years. It is a nice thing to follow what you want in your heart just like what Chisato has done in this episode. Chisato is officially a member of liella.
The reason why she was hard on idols
She only wants to protect her mother's legacy and the tradition the school was been doing since it was founded. I don’t disagree with the things Hazuki jas been doing at their school, In fact, I am supporting the fact she is making effort on making her school more proper and orderly. However, she should at least listen to the people surrounding her, Because they might also have other solutions that might be able to help the thing that happens in their school. She is hard on idols maybe because she was closed to the ideas that weren’t aligned on the plans and porpuses of their schools, She is so close to the point that she was forceful to the new ideas about idols as a part of their school.
The nice scene at the start of the episode
The episode started us with this nice scene about Hazuki's mom. You can tell by just looking at this intro scene on the episode you can say “this is the budget went”. It has good anime shading and filters. You will have goosebumps by just looking at it. There is also the classical music background perfectly matches with an emotional scene with Hazuki misses her mom. The scene transition with her putting a notice board on the forum of the schools. The scene then cuts to the opening of the song, This intro in my opinion is powerful next to episode 1 on this anime.
A lot of things happened in this episode. Chisato officially became a member, there is a school election where Sumire lost. We also saw the reason why Hazuki was hard on idols because her mother died and live her alone with a huge responsibility of saving her school.
